- Install the pushrods.
- Install the rocker arms.
- Ensure that the locating tab on the rocker pivot is properly aligned with the notch in the cylinder head.
- Install the rocker arm bolts.
Important: When you install new rocker arms, lubricate the pivot bearing and the mating surfaces with Camshaft Assembly Lubricant (GM P/N 1052365) or equivalent.
Ensure that the pushrods seat in the lifters.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
Important: Do not over tighten the rocker arm bolts.
Tighten
Tighten the rocker arm bolts to 25 N·m (19 lb ft).
